What does your Mother mean to you? My mother passed away 10 years ago and I still?

Question

still miss her dearly, especially during Christmas.

Answer 1

I feel for you, honestly. I could not bear the thought of one day losing my mother--and I'm well into my thirties. In fact, the older I get the more dear she becomes to me. My mother represents the source of my creation, and the origin of my physical as well as personality traits. She is probably the only person in the world who will love me unconditionally, and I will never find that again in my entire life. Never.

Answer 2

My mom died 6 years ago. Christmas was her favorite. Growing up I hated her, infact I away after highschool. She was a kinda a mommy dearest growing up. I could never do anything right, etc, etc.
Then I had kids we connected again, she never once said...I told you so. I had 10 great years with her b4 she died. She became my best friend. It took me another 5 years to understand that she really did love me and that was just how she was. I still miss her terribly. I see so many things I would like to give her for Christmas, it's not as fun without buying for her.
Talk to your mom, alone in the car, you will be surprised at how comforting it can be. I can now laugh with her in my head instead of hate her for stupid things. My hope for you this Christmas that you can enjoy her more in the spirit of this season.

Answer 3

My mother is very independent and solitary. She is polite toward and considerate of others, largely out of a sense of obligation. But I don't think she really cares for the company of others because she doesn't reach out. She never got involved again after divorcing my sick father. She inadvertently passed these habits down to me. She has a brother who is darn-near a total hermit. She never taught me how to be assertive and to stand up for myself, or to believe in myself. She's a good person, though. We are not touchy-feely. I'm almost 37 and have never been in a relationship. I wish I was more like other people, but I have to be who I am comfortable being.

Maybe I won't have kids of my own, to pass down this lifestyle. No harm in being child-less.

Answer 4

I love my mother and father dearly. I am quite fortunate to have wonderful parents who have always worked hard and have always been there for all 3 of their children.
As they get older I think more and more about them, they live in Florida and I live in Illinois. I have been thinking I should move down to Florida to be with them but I'm stuck between being a daughter and a mother, it's hard to know exactly what to do.

I love to listen to all the stories my mother tells about her life.

Answer 5

Mothers are un-sung heros. Their many tokens of love is noticed once they have gone. The little things they've done for us once taken for granted suddenly realized have taken great measure of love in our hearts. They are our "True Best Friend" reliable, dependable, ever forgiving, our protector, our teacher, our nurse, and sometimes our judge, they are unconditional love. there is no other. We only get one. ONE. She will always be missed, this is your hearts way of saying "I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, MOM"
She is a lucky women to have a wonderful child that loves her so deeply. This is all that every mother wishes for in return. Just our love in return. You have given her this. She is at peace, and still alive in you. In your heart, and in your world. You can't forget her, because she'd Never Forget you if it were the other way around.
Embrace you longing for her. It shows how much she meant to you, But especially what a great women, mother she was when alive. Wow! You are a very lucky person. Many would wish to have half of the love you and you mother shared and continue to share. I too am very close to my mother. Even moreso now that I am a mother. God Bless you and yours. You are fortunate. You have been blessed. You lack nothing but the flesh. What was important - you had in abundance!

Answer 6

I am sorry to hear that. I love my mother very much, she is like a friend to me. I always worry about what I will do when she and my father pass away. Have a wonderful Christmas and don't forget to surround yourself by other loved ones so you do not dwell too much on your loss.

Answer 7

Even though both my Mother and Father are gone, they were the world to me. My Best Friends as well.
We will always miss them. However on Christmas, other Holidays we should remember them, " in celebration of their lives." This my friend keeps them alive within us.
We cannot bring them back but the memory of them is "Beautiful" which we can lean on in difficult times.

Answer 8

My mother means everything to me, and if I were in your shoes, I'd be feeling the same grief.

My best friend lost her mother two years ago. She just had a tattoo done of her mother's favorite cartoon character. But it's one small gesture in a continued feeling of hurt and pain.

I feel for you. I wish I could share my mom with you. :)

Answer 9

My mother died five years ago, and she is still with me every single day. Her body had worn out, after over 90 years, but her spirit was strong, and stays with me, warming me and nourishing me. As long as I remember my mother, and you remember your mother, they are alive. It is the warmth of living memory which keeps the spirit alive of those who have passed before us. Bodies are not meant to last forever, and I would not wish Mom back with me now with her sad old body. Instead, I have her laugh in my ears and her touch on my skin whenever I care to bring those sensory images to me. I am rich for having shared love with her. And so you are with your mother.
